Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Chapter 67  Beast evolution, Conflict

After resting at camp in the town for an hour, Erix went to kill zombies for his class skills while Rin and Isabella went into the wilderness on Bloodwood Eagle for a small task.

Making Bloodwood Eagle stronger!

The beast was on the verge of entering Supra-order rank, so they decided to give it a push.

After half an hour, Rin and Isabella sat on a boulder while the Bloodwood Eagle was covered in a glowing red cocoon.

It only stayed there for a minute before the cracks spread and the cocoon broke.

The Eagle released a sharp whistle as it came out of the cocoon and displayed its new, larger appearance! Its new feathers were dark maroon with black patterns, and its talons looked sharper with added dark red markings!

"Wow, it became so strong after evolution," Rin approached the Eagle with a surprised expression. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Isabella nodded and approached the Eagle while smiling before gently rubbing its head. "Continue to look after us, okay?"

The Eagle squinted its eyes in pleasure and looked like it was smiling.

Although if others saw it, they would be scared at its appearance since this Sanguinite Eagle looked more menacing than Bloodwood Eagle.

Its wingspans stretched to eight meters, and its back became more extensive, so more comfortable ride for Erix and others.

"Our work here is done, so let's return," Rin said, jumping on the Eagle.

*Rustle rustle…*

Suddenly, they heard some rustling sound and soon footsteps.

Rin and Isabella quickly looked toward the sound and immediately saw a group of five men coming out of the woods.

The eldest was a middle-aged man, but the leader was a blond-haired man in his mid-thirties. The other three looked like they were in their twenties.

However, they were also stunned to see two women beside the Eagle.

They came here after hearing the sharp beastly sound since they wanted to hunt mutated beasts but didn't expect people there.

"What's the deal with you two and the eagle?" the blond-haired man asked with narrowed eyes containing confusion. He had a muscled figure with a height of 6'2.

However, before Rin could answer, a brown-haired man in his twenties in the group spoke while smiling wryly, "Can you leave that Eagle here, please? I need to hunt a supra-order beast to complete my class task."

The blond-haired man was visibly irked when this guy spoke before his question was answered.

"Are you brainless and blind?" Rin snorted with a displeased expression. "Can't you see that this beast is with us?"

"I mean, it's just a mutated beast. What's wrong with us killing it? You can just find another one since you seem to be able to tame this one," the brown-haired man spoke again while frowning. 'It's level 51 only! It should be easy to kill and will also complete my class task.'

"Calyan, can you shut up?" the blond-haired man snapped. He then turned to Rin and Isabella before nodding, "Hi, I am Luke. We heard a sharp beastly cry, so we thought we could hunt it, and that's why we came here."

"But this eagle is not for hunting, and you know that by now," Rin plainly said before she turned to Isabella. "Come on, Isabella-sis. Let's go."

Calyan clenched his fists and looked at the other two men near his age before he pointed his hand toward the Eagle. "Stop! I will use a powerful skill called lightning bullet if you don't stop, and it will surely hurt or even kill you!"

Right after that, another man who was Calyan's friend shouted while pointing his hand at Rin and Isabella, "That's right! It's just a mindless beast who must have killed people before! We must hunt for class tasks, so leave it alone if you don't want to get hurt!"

The third man also pointed his right hand and a sword in his left toward Isabella. "Don't force us, please. We must kill that Eagle since it's just level 51 and weaker than other supra-order beasts. I'm sure you also don't want conflict with us over a beast."

'These fucking idiots,' Luke wanted nothing more than to strangle these idiots! His guts and instincts, trained from his service in the military, told him that those two women were way more powerful than them.

Even if not, he wouldn't create needless conflict with others. However, these idiots in this team who lived a smooth life in the town and survived were acting stupid without thinking of consequences just because they got power and outnumbered the opposition.

"Are you sure about that?" Rin narrowed her eyes as she unhesitantly materialized her Blade Eater that took Ruined Blaze Sword's form.

"Stop being stupid!" Calyan shouted, his expression ferocious. "We are five, and you are just two. You can't defeat us! Just leave that Eagle alone and go!"

"Rin…" Isabella bit her lips. She didn't want to leave the Eagle, who had always protected her son while they were away, but she also didn't want to fight with others if possible.

' Should I…' a glint passed through Luke's eyes. He was already annoyed by those three men in their twenties, and the middle-aged man was also siding with them since they knew each other. So even though he was strongest in the group, at level 52, he didn't want to help them if conflict happened.

"Ladies!" Luke shouted, attracting everyone's attention, and raised his arms with empty palms. "I am not with them anymore because I disagree with their decision, and I am leaving!"

Step. Step. Step. He backed away from the four people in his group and distanced himself from them.

"Humph, we don't need you for this," Calyan snorted while keeping his darting eyes at Rin and Isabella. "I am telling you last time! Get away from that beast!"

Rin jumped off the Eagle, and her action made them think she was complying until she pointed her sword at Calyan and indifferently said, "Are you willing to put your life on the line for your decision?"

"And if that's final, go ahead and attack because you will not touch this beast today."

*Crackle!*

Her Blade Eater was immediately covered with a lightning crackle as she took a stance by holding her sword with both hands and pulling it back at her head's height.

"So, either scram right now or leave your corpse behind."

"Choose," Rin uttered with an icy stare.
